TI - ,e following pastoral, in which a thanksgiving on the birth of the young Prince is commandcd, was read yesterday in all the Catholic chapels in the diocese of Westminster, by command of Cardi nal Wiseman " Nicholas, by the divine mercy, of the Holy Roman Church, of the title of St. Padentiana Cardi nal Priest, and Archbishop of Westminster. " To our dearly beloved brethren and children in Christ, the clergy secular and regular and the faith ful of the said diocese, " Health and benediction in the Lord. " Dearly beloved in Christ, it has pleased Divine Providence to anticipate our prayers and desires by the birth, almost unexpected, of a child granted to the heir apparent of the Crown, and so destined in the order of nature to occupy, we hope at a yet distant period, the throne of this realm. " An interval of anxious suspense has been thus cat short, while the assurance from day to day, that nothing has occurred to lessen the first joy of this event, has completed the happy inauguration of the new year. " To the continuance of heavenly favour which has hitherto protected them we fervently commend both mother and child. And we earnestly pray that He, who at this season would receive his birth day offerings, however regal, only from the hands of the wise, will infuse into the heart of the Royal infant that wisdom which Solomon 'preferred before kingdoms and thrones,' together with which all good things ' as well as innumerable riches' came into his possession.—(Wisd. vii. 9.) " But we feel sure that, while praying for the speedy and complete restoration to health of the Princess Mother, that she may be 'as a fruitful vine on the sides of the Royal house' (Ps. cxxvii. 3), you will turn your thoughts and sympathies towards one still more august, who, after her, has here a larger claim than any one else to maternal joys ; and who, after a long period of faithful mourning, may perhaps exclaim, as did Lamech on the birth of Noe, This child shall comfort us: —(Gen. v. 22.) " Although so soon as these happy tidings of God's merciful dealings with the nation reached us we ordered that thanksgiving should be publicly offered up in our pro-cathedral, which was done on Sunday last, we feel ttis to be an occasion for a more general expression of gratitude, and therefore hereby enjoin " That the Te Deum, with its versicles and prayers, be sung in every church and chapel under our jurisdiction, after high mass and at benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, on Sunday next, the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. " Given in Westminster on the octave day of the Epiphany, one thousand eight hundred and sixty four, and ordered to be read at each mass on the said Sunday. " N., Card. WISEMAN. " " F., Canon SEARLE, Secretary. Death of the Duke of Athole, K.T. We were apprised last evening by telegraph that the Duke of Athole expired at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at Blair Castle, Perthshire. From the protracted illness of the Duke and the nature of his disease—cancer in the throat— his friends have for some months past been prepared for this event. The late Right Hon. George Augustus Frederick John Murray, Duke of Athole, Marquis of Tullibardine and Athole, Earl of Tullibardine, Athole, Strathtay, and Strath ardle, Viscount of Balquidhar, Viscount Glenalmond and Glenlyon, Baron Murray of Tullibardine, Balvenie, and Gask, in the peerage of Scotland; Earl Strange, Baron Strange and Murray, and Baron Glenlyon, county Perth, in the peerage of Great Britain, was the elder of the two two sans of General Lord Glenlyon, second son of John, fourth Duke of Athole, by Lady Emily Percy, fifth daughter of Hugh, second Duke of Northumberland. He was born September 20, 1814, so that he was in his 50th year. The lamented Duke married, Oct. 29, 1839, Anne only daughter of Mr. Henry Home Drummond, of Blair Drummond, Perthshire, by whom he leaves an only son, John James Hugh Henry, Marquis of Tullibardine. The late Duke was formerly in the 2d Dragoon Guards, from which he retired in 1840. On the death of his father, in 1837, he took his seat in the House of Lords as Baron Glenlyon. and suc ceeded to the Dukedom on the demise of his uncle John, fifth Duke of Athole, in 5ept.,1846. The late nobleman was Hereditary Sheriff of Perthshire, and a Deputy-Lieut enant of the county. In 1853 he was made a Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle. He had held for many years, since the resignation of the late General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, the office of Grand Master of the Freemasons in Scotland. As Lord Glenlyon he participated as one of the knights at the memorable Eglinton Tournament in August, 1839, attended by a band of upwards of 100 Athole men fully equipped. When her Majesty first visited Scotland in September, 1842, the Duke, as Lord Glenlyon, and heir presumptive to the honours of the iamiiy, gave a splendid reception to the Queen and her late illustrious Consort at Dunkeld on the Royal progress from Scone Palace to Taymouth Castle. The present Duke, Dorn oil the 6th August, 1840, is a Lieu tenant in the Scots Fusilier Guards, and only returned from serving with his battalion in Canada last autumn. He mar ried on the 29th October last Louisa, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas and Lady Louiea Moncreiffe, of Moncreiffe, Perth shire. DEATH OF LORD ARTHUR LENNOX.—We have to announce the death of Lord Arthur Lennox, son of the fourth Duke of Richmond, who expired on Friday last at his residence, Ovington-square, Brompton, aged 57.

In the front is a perforated iron rail, in which is contained the remains of an early martyr taken out of the catacombs of Rome in the year 1856, which was presented to the noble foundress of this church by the Pepe. The altar was de signed by Mr. G. Goldie, architect, London, and executed by Mr. Earp, carver, Lambeth.

MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday ruled inactive; nevertheless, prices were in most instances supported. Good and fine malting barley moved off freely, at extreme rates. Other articles ruled steady, at full currencies. On the continent the corn trade is steady, and prices rule firm. At New York a moderate business is doing in wheat and flour for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 12,150 quarters of wheat ; 8,627 barley; 29,590 oats; 5,900 rye; 361 beans; 2,925 peas; 4,137 tares; 40,633 linseed: 18,015 oilseeds; 280 sundry seeds; 3,470 sacks and 3,256 barrels of flout. The arrivals of wheat from Essex fresh up to this morn ing's market were small; but there was an increased show of produce from Kent on the stands. The general condition of the supply, notwithstanding the dampness of the weather, was tolerably good. Both for red and white qualities the trade was in a sluggish state, and the prices realised exhi bited a decline of from is to 2s, when compared with Mon day last. The market was by no means extensively supplied with foregn wheat. There was, however, no disposition on the part of millers to effect purchases beyond their immediate requirements, and these were in many instances made at a decline in prices from Monday last of is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were less active, and a fall of Is per quarter took place in the value of wheat. Spring corn was steely in price. The supply of barley was moderately good. Good and fine malting parcels moved off steadily at full prices; otherwise, the barley trade was quiet, yet previous quota tions were supported. In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at full prices. The supply of oats was moderately large. Heated par sets were a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms; but good and fine corn supported former prices, with a moderate in quiry. The trade for beans was steady, at late rates. The show of samples was moderate. Peas were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm. The flour trade was dull. The supply of barrels was very moderate ; but French qualities were offered somewhat freely. Prices ruled, in some instances , both for English and foreign produce, sightly in favour of buyers.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were on the decrease, compared with Monday last, but from Scot land lai ge, whilst the general supply was prime. For most kinds the demand was sluggish at the late decline in value. The best Scots and crosses sold at 53 per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,800 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 469 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 90 oxen. Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was very mode rate, all breeds met a slow inquiry. The best Downs and half breeds sold at late rates ; but heavy breeds were, in some instances, a shade lower than on this day se'nntht • The top figure for Downs was 6s per 81bs. There were a few Dorset and Somersetshire lambs on offer, but they commanded very little attention. Prices ranged from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 8 lbs. The supply of calves was very moderate, nevertheless, the demand was inactive at late rates, viz., from 4s to 55 2d per 8 lbs. Pigs were in fair average supply and sluggish request en former terms.

The Paris papers publish the latest despatches exchanged between Mr. Murray, the, English Minister in Dresden, and Baron von Benst, the Saxon President of the Council, upon the Schleswig- Holstein question : MR. MURRAY TO BARON VON BEUST. Dresden, Jan. 5, 1864. I have the honour to inform your Excellency that I have just received a despatch from Earl Russell, in which he communicates to me the views of her Britannic Majesty's Government on the position of affairs in the duchy of Holstein. Her Majesty's Government be lieves that the most serious consequences might arise if the Federal troops should invade Schleswig before the Powers who signed the Treaty of London have been able to express their opinion on this matter. In the opinion of the English Government not only the resolution of the Federal Diet, but also justice, has been violated by the con duct of the German troops in Holstein. "Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg must be made mutually responsible. Although I did not receive instruc tions to communicate the contents of this despatch to your Excellency, I nevertheless consider myself bound to do so, for if the Saxon Government feels inclined to take into account the advice of the Government of her Britannic Majesty in an affair which is of the highest importance for all Europe, there is no time to lose, as the progress of affairs in the Duchies is of such a nature that all the steps taken by the English Government to preserve peace between the German Confederation and Denmark might possibly be frustrated by the events of a single day.

" I have just received the note with which you have this day favoured me, and hasten to reply to the same. You acquaint me therein with the material contents of a despatch of Earl Russell, while adding that you have not received instructions to communicate it to me. 1 regret that you should, nevertheless, have thought fit to bring it to my knowledge, for you will recognise the necessity in which I find myself to point out those passages the offensive lan guage of which is only equalled by the levity (leg erete) of the assertions, which even do not hesitate to assail the honour of our flag. "You observe that, in the opinion of the English Go vernment, the conduct of the German troops has not only violated the resolution of the Federal Diet, but also justice, and that Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg must be made mutually responsible.' This is the first time that I have heard the conduct of our troops in Holstein characterised in this manner. I might be tempted to require of you to bring forward facts in support of so daring an assertion. If I abstain from so doing it is because the conduct of the Federal troops in a country belonging to the Confederation, in which they are placed in consequence of a resolution of the Federal Diet, is a subject which in no degree whatever concerns a foreign Government. To desire to make the Governments of Baden and of Wurtemberg responsib'e, who have not even sent forces thither, is one proof more of ignorance of the affairs taking place in Germany. You acquaint me, finally, that if the troops of the Federa tion should invade Schleswig before the Powers who have signed the Treaty of London should have been able to ex press their opinion upon this matter, the most serious con sequences might result therefrom. " You are aware that the Federal Diet is upon the point of coming to a decision upon the propositions which have been laid before it in respect to the duchy of Schleswig. " The warning which the Government of her Majesty of Great Britain wishes to extend to us is well calculated to attract the attention of the King. His Majesty will not abstain from its most serious examination. You will per mit me, however, to point out to you that no more efficacious means than the threat of force can be employed to cause a Government zealous for its honour and dignity to brave with calmness the consequences of a decision dictated by a feel ing of duty.—Receive, &c., " VON BEIIST.' WRECK ON THE GOODWIN SANDS. RAMSGATE, Saturday, This afternoon the crew of the schooner Cluny (Beane, master) were landed here, the vessel having been wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. The Cluny was off and from Hartlepool, bound to Dieppe, with a cargo of over 300 tons of coals. She sailed on the 30th December, at six a.m., a fresh breese blowing from the north and the water high Nothing particular occurred till this morning, when, at half-past six, the vessel struck on the Goodwin Sands, sprang a leak, and made water fast. Signals were made for assistance, and at about half-past seven the lugger Morning Star, of Ramsgate, went alongside, when the captain engaged to bring out the anchor, get the vessel off the sands, and take her into the nearest port, the amount agreed upon for services, if this were accom plished, being £240. In consequence of the heavy sea on, and the wind increasing, this was rendered impossible. Both pumps were kept at work until one o'clock, but still the vessel gradually filled, and at that time the water was up to the cabin deck. All hope of saving her was now despaired of, and the captain and crew resolved to abandon her. The signals of distress were observed here, and soon after the life boat was being towed out by the steam tug Aid, which arrived at the schooner shortly after ten, and laid by to render assistance if it was required. _ _ Upon resolving to abandon the vessel, five of the crew entered the lifeboat, and the captain and mate the lugger, in which they were safely landed here at four o'clock. On landing the men were received by Mr. Whitmore, the hon. agent of the Shipwrecked Mariner's Association, who pro vided them with refreshments, and afterwards forwarded them to London by train. The crew succeeded in saving some of their things. THE FORM OF PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING FOR THE PRINCESS OF WALES'S SAFE DELIVERY OF A PRINCE, used at morning and evening service, after the General Thanksgiving, in all churches and chapels in Eng land and Wales, and in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, yesterday, the 17th day of January:—" Almighty and most merciful God, by whose gracious gift mankind is increased, we humbly thank Thee for that Thou hast vouchsafed to deliver Thy servant the Princess of ',Vales from the perils of childbirth, that Thou hast made her a joyful mother, and granted her the blessings of a son. May Thy watchful eye and fatherly hand still be over her; rapport and comfort her in the hours of weakness, and day by day renew her strength, that so she may arise and go forth to praise Thee in Thy church, and serve Thee in all good works to the glory of Thy holy name. Defend the infant Prince from every danger that may happen to the body, and from all evil that may assault and hurt the soul. Enrich him with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus, and as years advance may he increase . in grace, in wisdom, and all Christian virtues. Look down, we pray Thee, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy people upon the Royal parents : fill them!with all heavenly benediction, that they may faith fully live and walk according to Thy will in this life pre sent, and may be partakers of Thine everlasting glory in the life to come. Implant in the hearts of Thy people a deep sense of this, and of Thy manifold mercies to us as a church and nation, and give us grace to show forth our thankfulness by dutiful affection to our Sovereign, by brotherly love one towards another, and by constant obedi ence to Thy commandments : so that, passing through this life in Thy faith and fear, we may attain to Thy heavenly kingdom, through the merits and mediation of Thy blessed Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." The Imperial Court of Toulouse has just decided the case of Father Lacordaire's will. The deceased, who was a Dominican friar, and Director of the School of Soreze, had, in his last testament drawn up immediately before his death, instituted Father Mourey, of the same order, his universal legatee. A brother of the deceased at tacked the will as illegal, first because brother Mourey hav ing been Father Lacordaire's confessor could not inherit, and next because tho property was in reality intended for the religious order of which both were members, which was contrary to law. The Tribunal of Castres annulled the will on the first ground, and Father Mourey appealed against , the decision. The case was then taken before the Imperial Court of Toulouse, which has con fi rmed the judgment of the first judges. THE STOCK OF BULLION in the Bank of England has declined to £13,708,597. The return of the Bank of France shows a reduction in the supply compared with the previous month of £1,764,800. CHARLES DICKENS is preparing a graceful tri bute to the memory of Thackoray, the paper to appear in • the next number of the Cornhill Napnine. (This Day.) ''SECOND EDITIO COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. 'Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn Crompton, and Mellor.) iN THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr. M. Chambers had obtained a rule calling upon an attorney of this court to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls for malpractices, and the rule having been set down in the preemptory paper for argument, it was called on this morning. _ _ Mr, Griffiths, on the part of the attorney, applied for postponement, as his client had been compelled to go to Brussels, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., felt he could not safely argue the case without the presence and assistance of the said attorney. Mr. M. Chambers had been informed of the application, and did not object. The Lord Chief Justice said the case had been placed in the peremptory papers and ought not to be postponed with out good cause. Mr. Chambers said it struck him from the nature of the case and the allegations made in the affidavits that it must go before the Master, as it would be necessary in order to prove the allegations, to produce the Subpoena Book and Precipes of the Court of Exchequer. Mr. Griffiths objected to that, as he was of opinion that the matter could be argued before the court on the affi davits. The books could be produced by the officer. The Lord Chief Justice said it was a most extraordinary case. Application was made to strike an attorney off the rolls. The case is put down in the peremptory paper, and the attorney chooses to go away on other professional busi ness, leaving the rule to take its chance. If the case was postponed a day must be fixed, as it could not be allowed to stand over. After some discussion, the Court ordered the case to be postponed till Monday next peremptorily. TN THE NATTER OF BRYANT AND FOOTE. Mr. Prideaux appeared to show cause against a rule ob tained by Mr. Keene to remit back a special case to the arbitrator on the ground that he had not sufficiently set the matter forward to prove the usage. The action was brought by a parishioner of Horton, Bucks, against the rector, Mr. Foote, for the refusal to marry him, and the question arose whether there was a custom that the rector should receive lOs. and the clerk 3s. for every marriage, it having been stated in some instances 13s. 6d. had been paid, The difference of the sum received, it was contended, invalidated the custom. The cause was tried, the jury could not agree, and ultimately the matter was referred to arbitration, and with the decision of the arbitrator fault was found. After some discussion the Court said the rule had better be made absolute, to remit the case back to the arbitrator. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder.) SIX SPECIAL JURYMEN PINED £lO-IMPORTANT NOTICE. Considerable dissatisfaction has been recently expressed in consequence of the easy manner in which special jury men who have been fined at this court have obtained a remission of the fine upon making subsequently general or particular excuses.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) 'OOKING OFFICES AND RAILWAY COMPANIES - WOODROW T. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover for damage to a parcel. Mr. Ashley, of Charles-square, Holton, objected to the jurisdiction of this court, as the chief office of the Great Eastern Railway Company was in Shoreditch. Plaintiff stated that the parcel was delivered to a booking office in Fleet-street, and he called the keeper of the office, who produced a board headed " Great Eastern Railway Company." It was further stated that the company's carts called at the office and collected all parcels, whereupon his Honour said that as the company did business in the City he must hold this court to have jurisdiction. Mr. Ashley—lf that is your Honour's decision I must submit, but I shall call upon the plaintiff to prove the damage. Plaintiff could do this, and the case was adjourned for evidence.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this bank was held to-day—Mr. James Dickson in the chair. The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that, after defraying the current charges of the bank, amounting, inclusive of directors' remuneration, and provision for bad and doubtful debts, to £4,620 9s 9d ; and deducting the sum of £1,908 10s 8d for rebate of interest on bills discounted and not yet due, there remained an available balance of £9,613 155 4d. The directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for the six months ending 31st December, 1863, be declared, payable to the registered shareholders of the bank at that date, which will require the sum of £5,000; that the sum of £3,000 be appropriated to a reserve fund ; and that the balance, £1,613 16s 4d, be carried forward to credit of profit and loss new account. The CHAIRMAN said, in moving the adoption of the re port that he ventured to hope that the shareholders would agree with him that the accounts presented were highly satisfactory. the gross profits realised during the last six months represented more than 60 per cent. over those of the preceding period. This gratifying circumstance was partly owing to the recent high value of money, but for all that the accounts testified to an increasing addi- ... tion of current and deposit business. The chief feature in their history was their admission to the Clearing. house, into which no young institution was allowed to enter till had taken permanent root in the confidence of the public. The directors had decided upon opening a branch at Pimlico, in the immediate neighbourhood of which no other banking establishment existed. The share holders expressed their satisfaction at the statement of tho directors, and votes of thanks were passed in favour of the board and the managers.

It is supposed that Morrison's death was caused by his stepping off the " six-foot" while a mineral train was passing towards Glasgow, and getting ran over by the limited wail, The engine-man of the later felt his engine give a jerk on passing Whifflet, and on reaching Carstairs he examined his guards, upon one of which he found a piece of human flesh,--Scotsman, THE LATE ALFRED DE VlGNY.—According to h no r e k l sLoefv poems,Ay about l i at s rnedawd eiivi t bi o ge nye ja. publish titehj D eu s fi ee c e consist 8 8 : 1)s i t s eh t bua o n I f t o' e ul le si v iwe e the volumee v , o ue Jou r n al Fames Philosophiques."
